Topic:Lipids
Lipids in horses are a diverse group of organic compounds that include fats, oils, waxes, and certain vitamins. These molecules are essential components of cell membranes and serve as a major energy source for equine metabolism. In horses, lipids are involved in various physiological processes, including energy storage, insulation, and the synthesis of hormones. The study of lipids encompasses their biochemical properties, metabolic pathways, and their impact on equine health and performance. Research in this area investigates the role of dietary lipids, the effects of lipid metabolism on equine diseases, and the implications of lipid profiles in athletic horses. This page compiles peer-reviewed research studies and scholarly articles that explore the biochemical roles, metabolic regulation, and health implications of lipids in horses.
Pantothenic acid studies with the horse. On the basis of studies with Shetland ponies it appears that a daily intake of 38 µg of pantothenic acid per kg. of body weight is adequate to permit normal growth and health in the horse.
The amount of pantothenic acid excreted by the renal pathway is influenced by the levels ingested. On the level of 150 µg daily per kg. of body weight 41 per cent was excreted in the urine whereas when the level ingested was 38 µg per kg. of body weight only 12.7 percent was excreted by the renal pathway.
Nutritional composition, fatty acids profile and immunoglobulin G concentrations of mare milk of the Chilean Corralero horse breed. The objective of the present study was to characterize the nutritional composition, fatty acid profile, and IgG concentration of the milk produced by Chilean Corralero horse (CCH) mares from breeding farms located in southern Chile. Forty-five milk samples were collected from three of the biggest breeding farms (coded as A, B and C) specialized in breeding and selection of CCH in Chile (15 mares sampled per farm). Farms differed in days in milk (DIM). A negative association between DIM and ash, milk protein, milk solids, saturated fatty acids (SFA), and gross energy (GE) was found, whereas DIM...
